- In this episode we get a little insight into the mind of the Father of SWAM Sijo Abdul Mutakabbir.
Sijo is a master teacher who trains and coaches students in all major arenas of Martial Arts; Sport (MMA: Mixed Martial Arts), Reality (SWAM, Lethal Ground and Pound™), and Dojo.
As the Founder and Director of the SWAM Academy of Modern Martial Arts and the creator of the FuJuKa Boxing System, Master Abdul's martial arts story span far and wide.
The original SWAM, located in South Jamaica, Queens, was established in 1977, in one of New York City's most notorious neighborhoods. Mutakabbir's vision to help individuals, families, and communities has found expression and thrived through SWAM. In 1992, SWAM successfully expanded its operation to the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area.
Mutakabbir is virtually a life long martial artist. He has studied numerous fighting systems tutored by some of the most renowned martial artists in history, starting at the age of eleven. He has earned countless titles throughout the country, combining constant study, work, and commitment to be one of the best. His dedication made him the New York State Triple Crown Champion for 20 years.
Beautiful documentary on one of the most Prolific and skillful martial arts masters and his system of our time. Proud to call them family, and Sijo my brother. Peace be unto you. One!
Upmost Respect to SIJO ABDUL MUTAKABBIR! It's an honor to call him my father in Martial arts. I am truly blessed.

Beautifully done, thank you Martial Maze for showcasing my teacher and our system 🥰🥰.
Go check out the documentary that Martial Maze did on SiDaGoo!! Pbuyu love and miss you !
As one of the GMs of SWAM, I feel extremely blessed to have trained with Sijo for forty five plus years. Sijo has been an inspiration to me, and helped me raise the bar that I set for myself at the beginning of my martial arts journey. Additionally, Sijo has instilled in me the importance of community service. Sijo has shown me through his example, don't just talk the talk, but walk the walk. I am eternally grateful and very happy to see him get his flowers now.
Did you train with Moses Powell
Watched this like 3 times already!!! Legend of Legends sir!!!! Proud to be considered a nephew in the arts and be a part of this LEGACY!!!
Thank you martial maze. Can't wait to see part 2. What an amazing experience watching my teacher's journey. I'm proud to be a black belt under his system. OUS!!!
Once again, this was excellent!! Sijo is one the best human beings I've ever met in my life.. I will forever love, honor, and respect Sijo and SidAGoo, and the SWAM system.. "Osu!"
Yet another great presentation by the brothers of Martial Maze. WELL DONE!!
From Lima - Peru, I am very thankful to be part of SWAM Peru and how my life is improving training with mySenseri - Professor Miguel Lopez . Spanish : Me siento muy afortunado de formar parte de la familia SWAM aca en mi tierra natal Peru, maravillos Pais ! vengan a vitistarnos ! Seria un orgullo tener de visita a mi abuelo en las artes Marciales, seria una gran bendicion para nuestra Familia SWAM Peru !!!
Wow! Sijo Abdul Mutakabbir is a Treasure from somewhere beyond, disguised as an ordinary man, brilliant in our SCIENCE, wise beyond his years. What he mentioned about sharing words of wisdom in The Culture Center continues today. Sijo acknowledges The Name of God in everything. There have been so many occasions that I have met people who have told me of so many heroic and selfless acts he has done, things he never mentions. Sijo Abdul Mutakabbir is undisputed, One of The ASCENDED FEW IN THE MARTIAL SCIENCE, but there is so much more to him, always preferring Peace, always able to conjure The Angel of Chaos. Sijo's goal is to do his part in making the world a better place, one soul at a time. This god in man's clothing is more than iconic. If anyone reading this knows how to introduce him to the producers of "Little Known Black History Facts" He would be an excellent subject and drawing tool, giving younger generations something GOOD TO CLING TO. Thank you Lopez Sensei and Barak Sensei for your hard work to deliver quality documentaries to the world.
💯
Well said my brother! He’s definitely a true blessing to this planet and a living legend that we can actually spend time with and learn from. OSU!!!
Amazingly done! A great profile of my brother and teacher and one of the great martial scientists of our time!
This is amazing. Great martial artist and instructor!
This was so informative! The history of the system is important. Much respect to Sijo!
This man is one of the great ones and I highly agree with everything he always says my own true philosophy is it's not the art that makes the person it's the person who makes the art and I've been saying that for about 30 years now
Great content! Could you also do an episode where you visit Sifu Novel A.K.A. "The Black Taoist"? Thanks
I love this man who in 1976 became my first Martial Arts guide. He was teaching at the mosque across the street from the bus terminal in Queens on Jamaica Ave. Afterwards he would teach at the park. His words live with me. He helped saved my life from drugs and alcohol.
Amazing narrative and images!!
When I think of mighty men amongst us Sijo is the first to come to my mind. A real life hero that literally saved a community in NY! It is truly an honor to be in his presence and listen to his wisdom as well as learning the SWAM flow!
Thanks for the food. Peace 7
Beautiful commentary, Osu!

Loved this Documentary, it's a been a great honor to have met Sijo!
Man I’m getting tired of these videos, but they don’t tell u where they’re located, want to train u. It’s like they like to show off
We hear you The locations of these training facilities along with the martial artist that we interview are always in the episode.
@@TheMartialMaze oh shit u responded ‼️‼️‼️ I meant no disrespect it’s just that. I see these videos a lot but most run seminars and hardly train anyone
@@TheMartialMaze do u happen to know any dojos, black ran in the Newark or New York City area ?
@@BROOKLYNVILLAIN Most of these martial artist aren’t really hard to find. I think they all have Facebook pages, Instagram or just a simple Google search could put you in touch with either of them selves or their students. But keep in mind that when we were filming these episodes. We were traveling the United States some of these folks are in New York, New Jersey, Florida, California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island….
Also Georgia lol
